I’d remove bonus actions, rebuilding specific abilities to capture what they are trying to do. For instance, healing word could let heal someone and include a melee or ranged attack as part of the spell.
Bonus actions add complexity that doesn’t need to be there. I like keeping things streamlined when I can. from discussion AMA: Mike Mearls, D&D Creative Director.
